Hey, F#I got a gal at the Bhead of the F#creek,

Goin' up to see her about C#two times a F#week.

Kiss her on the mouth, Bsweet as any F#wine,

Wrap herself around me like a C#sweet potato F#vine.

F#Goin up Cripple Creek, Bgoin on a F#run,

goin up Cripple Creek to C#have a little F#fun.

Goin up Cripple Creek, Bgoin in a F#whirl,

goin up Cripple Creek to C#see my F#girl.

Now the girls up Cripple Creek, about half-grown,

jump on a boy like a dog on a bone.

Roll my britches up to my knees,

wade ol Cripple Creek whenever I please.

Now, Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep,

wade old Cripple Creek before I sleep.

Hills are steep and the roads are muddy,

and I'm so dizzy that I can't stand steady
